OneM24 in Indy 3/19-3/23. Sweet 16 Meet-Up?If any of you are in the Indy area, and can take some time to catch a beer or 12 in the evening (Mon, Tue, Wed, Thur), let me know. I'll be in town for work related stuff.
I think I'll be meeting Syphon one night for sure, but if anybody else wants to plan a grab a brew let me know. Maybe we can get a group together on Thursday night to watch some of the Sweet 16 games.
PM me if you don't have my number.Posted in: Off Topic

2018 College Basketball ThreadFrom 1:41 left to :44 left, Michigan was up 61-60. Devin Davis got fouled (not intentionally) and made both free throws.
After that, there was a foul called on Michigan with :25 left and it was on a rebound (not intentional).
Only intentional foul was with :04 left, and Davis bricked both setting up the game winning play for Michigan.
It was an even game. Stop acting like the refs were wearing Maize and Blue.Posted in: Off Topic

2018 College Basketball ThreadFouls called on Michigan: 22
Fouls called on Houston: 19
Free Throws Michigan: 14-20
Free Throws Houston: 16-22
Michigan had more fouls called on them and shot less free throws than Houston.Posted in: Off Topic

2018 College Basketball ThreadYeah...uh... you might want to pay attention to how poorly Michigan shot the ball this game. Like mikewebb says, that's a complete outlier. They are capable of beating any team in the tournament on a given day, and as good or better than some still left more often than not.Posted in: Off Topic

2018 College Basketball ThreadYeah, was talking to my brother in law and told him at halftime that I didn't like the way the game was going for Michigan. When it got to the 7 minute mark or so, I was really worried...and for good reason. That possession where Michigan hit the 3 AND Houston fouled under the basket, turning the trip into a 5 point trip that tied it, was key. Prior to that, I thought it was over when Houston was up 5 with 4 minutes left because the game was just such a defensive game.Posted in: Off Topic

2018 College Basketball ThreadTrue. To be fair, nobody has seen Michigan's best game in this tournament yet. They are definitely capable of getting to the Final 4. I don't think that's going to happen, but they can play lights out at times.Posted in: Off Topic

2018 College Basketball ThreadThat's Mo Wagner, and he's pretty good.
This Michigan game has been tight all night. Really good defense on both ends of the court. Nothing's free in this game tonight.Posted in: Off Topic

**Official NFL Offseason Thread**I've had my say about Winston. No point in belaboring it. Winston is going to be there this year, and likely next year as well when Tampa picks up his 5th year option prior to May this year. I don't think he gets a long term deal done this year, unless he absolutely shows that he can make good decisions, protect the football, and throw an accurate ball more than 20 yards down the field to his biggest home run threats/weapons. We will see.Posted in: Off Topic

**Official NFL Offseason Thread**Tampa has signed:
Eagles DE- Vinny Curry, 3 years for 27 million w/ 11.5 guaranteed.
Baltimore Center- Ryan Jensen, 4 years 42 million w/ 22 guaranteed
Also signed the top 2 run stopping D-Linemen for 2017, as rated by Pro Football Focus. Beau Allen and Unrein. With the D-Line getting upgrades, the O-Line getting better and allowing Marpet to move back to RG (much better there), Tampa is going to have options in the draft.
If the top 3 picks are QB, and then the next 3 are Barkley, Chubb, and Nelson, Tampa will take Derwin James IMO.
If Any of Barkley, Nelson or Chubb are available, ...Posted in: Off Topic

What are the better sports programs?Blacksburg is actually one of my favorite places to watch a game. It's a great atmosphere, and they really do a good job with the music and fan experience. I could do without the gobble gobble gobble sound when the opposing team has 3rd down, though. lolPosted in: Off Topic

**Official NFL Offseason Thread**There are definitely WR worth more than 12 Milly per season. Remember, the salary cap keeps going up. You have to adjust for what % of the cap 16 Milly is today vs. like 8 years ago or whatever. Probably fun to see what the top WR pay is by % of cap in 2018 vs. 2008.
Can't tell me that AB, Julio, DHop aren't worth 15+ million.Posted in: Off Topic

**Official NFL Offseason Thread**This should be interesting. I'm seeing 3 years at 16 Million per. I don't think the Rams used Watkins' abilities to their potential last year, which is really weird. Makes you wonder... Will be fun to see what Andy Reid can do with Reek and Watkins.Posted in: Off Topic
